Jung Yong-hwa and I know so much about each other, I think it would be difficult for us to start a romantic relationship.

I felt really happy to be able to film together with Korea's most beautiful actress. Everyone thinks it's because of her outward appearance that Song Hye-kyo became famous, but after working together, I realized her inner heart and personality are also good. Moreover, she has lots of acting experience, and I actually did learn a lot from her.

For dramas, I've become more careful because now there are specific works that you think of when you hear the name Song Hye-kyo.

Captain Yoo Si Jin is most similar to me. He takes his job very seriously, but in his free time, he's playful.

The best compliment we ever got about the show was from a Korean veteran who was unable to talk about his war experience with his wife until 'M*A*S*H.' While watching the show, he was able to lean over to his wife and say, 'See, honey, that's the way it was.'

I don't think I can play a role without falling in love with something about her; even the most despicable people who I have portrayed had some aspect of them which I found beautiful.

I think as a young actress, it's very rare that you read something where you're not either 'the girl' or there to serve some romantic purpose in a male dominated cast.

My daughter likes Korean drama more than I do.

Wong Kar Wai is a very intense character, very personable, and I believe in general he does not like and he would not want his actors to show their true looks and their true personality on screen.

I never wanted to play a character that hated herself. I wanted people to know that those aren't the only roles for people like me, normal girls.
